Salesian Formation

I just wanted to share this family photo with all of you! This year we are blessed here at Don Bosco Residence to have 21 men in formation! The number has grown steadily over the past few years and we hope and pray that we might continue to move in this direction. We also have another 11 men in other centers in formation for our province. God is so good and generous with us! Let's pray that more and more young people will say yes to the call to follow Christ in the service of the young like Don Bosco! Here is the link to the vocation office for more information on the Salesians.
